[Afropop] Having covered both the Montreal International Jazz Festival and Montreal's Nuits d'Afrique Festival for over a decade, we can say it's very rare for an artist to play at both festivals in the same year. Especially when it comes to filling a slot for a local world music artist, there are so many to choose from in the city. So when we saw that Naxx Bitota, an artist new to us, was booked this year at both, we guessed there was something special about her. And we guessed correctly.
